Farkas Bolyai

Farkas Bolyai was a Hungarian mathematician renowned for his pivotal contributions to mathematics, especially in the realm of non-Euclidean geometry. Born on February 9, 1775, in Kolozsvár, Hungary, and passing away on November 20, 1856, in Marosvásárhely, Hungary, Bolyai's work fundamentally altered the understanding of geometry. His discovery of non-Euclidean geometry, presented in his posthumously published work 'Über die Egale Vertheilung der Linien in einem Raume,' challenged the established Euclidean parallel postulate and paved the way for the development of hyperbolic geometry. more

“When the clouds shake their hyssops, and the rain Like holy water falls upon the plain, 'Tis sweet to gaze upon the springing grain And see your harvest born. And sweet the little breeze of melody The blackbord puffs upon the budding tree, While the wild poppy lights upon the lea And blazes 'mid the corn.”

“Poets and songwriters speak highly of spring as one of the great joys of life in the temperate zone, but in the real world most of spring is disappointing. We looked forward to it too long, and the spring we had in mind in February was warmer and dryer than the actual spring when it finally arrives. We'd expected it to be a whole season, like winter, instead of a handful of separate moments and single afternoons.”

“I have walked this south stream when to believe in spring was an act of faith. It was spitting snow and blowing, and within two days of being May ... But as if to assert the triumph of climate over weather, one ancient willow managed a few gray pussy willows, soft and barely visible against the snow-blurred gray background.”

“Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom, the moon only when it is cloudless? To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration.”
